VASER Smooth For Cellulite
The VASER Smooth procedure is designed to address cellulite, a common concern that affects approximately 85% of women. Cellulite is characterised by dimples and uneven texture on the skin’s surface and is often linked to the effects of the hormone estrogen on the skin and soft tissues.
This procedure uses ultrasound energy delivered by a probe to target cellulite. It works in a unique two-step process:
- Targeting Fat Cells: Initially, the procedure focuses on fat cells in the affected area.
- Cutting Fibrous Bands: After targeting the fat cells, the procedure addresses the fibrous bands responsible for creating the dimples associated with cellulite. By disrupting these bands, the skin’s appearance can be improved.
One of the possible advantages of the VASER Smooth procedure is that it can minimise complications, post-operative pain, and bruising, while also optimising the condition of the skin. This makes it a potential option for those seeking to reduce the appearance of cellulite and achieve smoother skin.

Improvement
The VASER Smooth procedure can lead to a significant improvement in the appearance of cellulite, with results typically ranging from 50% to 90%. On average, patients may experience a 75% improvement in their cellulite appearance. These results can last for up to 2 years or more, providing patients with potentially long-lasting benefits in reducing the dimples and uneven texture associated with cellulite.
Results
The results of the VASER Smooth procedure can become visible as early as one month after the treatment, with an average timeframe of around 3 months to see noticeable improvements in cellulite reduction. However, for some individuals, it may take up to twelve months to achieve the full effect of the procedure. This timeline can vary from person to person, and the final outcome may continue to improve over time.
Recovery Time
Following the VASER Smooth procedure, patients typically require a short period of time off from work for recovery. In most cases, patients can expect to take 2-4 days off from work. However, if their job involves more strenuous tasks, they may need to take up to 7 days off to ensure a smoother and more comfortable recovery process. The specific duration of time off may vary depending on individual circumstances and the nature of the patient’s work.

Risks
Vaser Smooth is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat cellulite by cutting the fibrous bands that pull down on the skin and create dimpling. Like any surgical procedure, it carries certain risks. Infection is a potential risk, as with any surgical procedure. Bruising and swelling are common after surgery and can persist for several weeks, particularly significant in Vaser Smooth surgery due to tissue manipulation. Nerve damage can occur, leading to temporary or permanent numbness or changes in sensation in the treated area but again can subside over time. Skin irregularities may occur if too much or too little tissue is removed, or if the skin does not heal properly. Persistent pain, scarring, asymmetry, and unsatisfactory results are also possible risks. Thorough discussion with our team can help to minimize these risks, along with following all pre-operative and post-operative instructions to reduce the likelihood of complications.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING VASER SMOOTH
In accordance with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) protocol, it is a prerequisite to obtain a GP referral for all cosmetic surgical procedures before scheduling a consultation with Dr. Glenn Murray. Additionally, a Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) questionnaire will need to be completed to assess your suitability for the procedure. To facilitate informed discussions and address any questions you may have, informational videos will be sent to your designated email prior to your meeting with Dr. Murray. Following a second consultation with a member of our clinical team, a mandatory 7-day cooling off period will commence. During this time, we strongly encourage you to seek further information and education regarding your desired procedure, as well as consider obtaining a second opinion. After the 7-day cooling off period, you are welcome to proceed with scheduling your procedure and embark on your Absolute Cosmetic journey.
It is imperative to strictly avoid smoking, vaping, and illicit drug use before, during, and after the procedure. Nicotine consumption during the surgical process heightens the risk of complications, infection, delayed healing, or an unsatisfactory cosmetic outcome. Please note that we maintain a stringent cancellation policy for those who continue to smoke or vape. We advise all patients to cease smoking at least 2 weeks before the procedure and to abstain for 6 weeks following the procedure. Reducing nicotine intake does not diminish the risk of complications; the most substantial health benefit is derived from quitting smoking altogether. We highly recommend and encourage the use of nicotine cessation aids during this period. For more comprehensive information regarding potential complications and guidance on quitting smoking, please refer to this resource.
It is vital to note that if you have smoked within the last 2 weeks, the procedure will be canceled, and payment will not be refunded.
To ensure your readiness for the procedure, being in good health is essential. It’s crucial to avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, fish oil, green tea, and turmeric leading up to the procedure. Additionally, a blood test should be conducted at least 1 week before the scheduled procedure. A nurse will go through an extensive checklist to ensure that you are well prepared, via a pre-operative call before your procedure day.
On the day of the procedure, fasting is mandatory, meaning you should refrain from consuming food or water for 6 hours prior to your scheduled surgical start time. However, you may take a small sip of water in the morning to consume any pre-surgery medication if necessary. These precautions are taken to optimize your safety and the success of the procedure. All paperwork must be completed before the procedure and will be sighted and signed by your admitting surgical nurse.
What happens during the VASER Smooth procedure?
The Procedure
The VASER Smooth procedure is typically performed as a day-case procedure under neurolept sedation. Patients are admitted early in the morning and discharged later in the afternoon on the same day of the procedure.
The duration of the procedure can vary based on factors such as the size and number of areas being treated. After the procedure, patients are moved to the recovery area, where they are discharged to go home with their designated caregiver to rest. The following day, patients return for one of their follow-up appointments.
Patients can expect some discomfort and pain during the first few days following the procedure, and they can usually resume their normal activities within a few days.
It’s essential to note that the VASER Smooth procedure is not a substitute for weight reduction. Instead, it is a method for treating fibrous bands and addressing localised deposits of fatty tissue, when appropriate.
What happens after the VASER Smooth procedure?
The results of the VASER Smooth procedure can vary from patient to patient and may be influenced by various factors such as healing, age, genetics, and lifestyle. While some patients may notice improvements as early as 1 month after the procedure, it is more common for results to become apparent around the 3-month mark. However, it’s important to be realistic and understand that it can take up to 12 months to achieve the full effect of the treatment.
On average, patients can expect a reduction in cellulite appearance ranging from 50% to 90%, with an average improvement of 70-75%. It’s essential to keep in mind that individual outcomes may vary, and the final result depends on several factors. Patients should follow post-operative care instructions and have realistic expectations about the level of improvement they can achieve with the VASER Smooth procedure.
After undergoing the VASER Smooth procedure, patients typically require a short period of time off from work for recovery. In most cases, patients can expect to have 2-4 days off from work. However, if their job involves more strenuous tasks, they may need to take up to 7 days off to ensure a smoother and more comfortable recovery process.
Regarding exercise, patients can generally resume light exercise after 1 week, move on to moderate exercise at 2 weeks, and return to full exercise activities at 3 weeks post-procedure. However, it is recommended to avoid extreme exercise for a period of 4-8 weeks following the procedure. The specific duration of time off and the timing of exercise resumption may vary depending on individual circumstances and the nature of the patient’s job and activities.
